Coping With Dental Anxiety

Do you fear going to the dentist?

Dental anxiety is a legitimate condition, which is why our Lynnwood Dentistry takes lengths to put your fears at ease and make you feel more comfortable throughout your procedure.

It’s been found that a full five percent of the population suffers from a dentist-phobia, even when they themselves recognize the fear as irrational. This causes them to suffer oral pain for weeks before calling a dentist, or lose sleep on the night before an appointment. If you’re one of these people, don’t be afraid. There are ways to overcome your anxiety.

For many patients, their fear springs from a perceived lack of control while they are on the dentist chair. We work to alleviate this by listening to all of your concerns, discussing your procedures with you, and making sure you understand everything that is going on inside your mouth.

Modern Dentistry Technology

Modern technology even allows us to give you a video feed of certain procedures as we perform them, removing the uncertainty that goes with being left in the dark. This serves to mentally prepare most anxious patients, who gradually lose their dentist fear.

Some anxious patients base their fear off of a previous bad experience, probably a severe pain from their childhood visits to the dentist office. To these patients, we offer the assurance that our equipment is the top of the line in the modern dentistry world. Today’s techniques are more sophisticated than when you were young, and likely far more painless.

So don’t continue to live in fear and pain! Make the call to Song Dental, and finally find a friend in your dentist!
